Australia's best beach accommodation on a budget: west coasthttp://www.theguardian.com/travel/2013/feb/05/australia-best-beach-acommodation-budget-west-coast
Australia's strong dollar has made it an increasingly expensive holiday destination. If you're planning a trip along the idyllic western coast, here are 10 places to stay on a tighter budget, from beach camps and cabins to seafront B&amp;Bs<p>To the far north of Western Australia, adventure awaits at Cape Leveque. Around 220km from Broome, Kooljaman is an award-winning camp owned by the Aboriginal communities of One Arm Point and Djarindjin. Getting there is an experience itself with the easiest choice (albeit most expensive) to fly into the camp's own airstrip. Assisted 4WD transfers are available or you can rent a 4WD and make your own way there. Whichever way you opt to travel, you can't fail to be awestruck by the Kimberley's radiating red landscape. Once on the ground whale watching, nature walks and a bush tucker tour for the braver foodie, are among the activities on offer, but the simplicity of watching the sunset well may be the most memorable. Accommodation will suit all comfort levels and pockets, whether a night on the campground or a basic cabin for couples on a budget.<br />• <a href="http://www.kooljaman.com.au" title=""><em>kooljaman.com.au</em></a><em>, camping $18 (&pound;12) per adult, log cabins $140 for two sharing </em></p> <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/travel/2013/feb/05/australia-best-beach-acommodation-budget-west-coast">Continue reading...</a>AustraliaBeach holidaysBudget travelBackpackingAustralasiaTravelTop 10sPerthCampingBed and breakfastsTue, 05 Feb 2013 09:57:00 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/travel/2013/feb/05/australia-best-beach-acommodation-budget-west-coastSteve Parish/CorbisCape Arid National Park.
